ACTION ALERT
"The California Disclose Act"
UPDATE 1/31/12
Subject: SB 810 Action Alert II: Senators Vargas and Padilla
We are still short of two votes to pass SB 810, the single-payer health care bill, off the floor tomorrow. The following Democrats are not in support: Senators Rubio, Wright, Vargas, Calderon, Correa and Padilla. It appears that Rubio, Wright, Calderon and Correa are unwilling to change their mind, but because of previous support, I think Vargas and Padilla can be swayed. Therefore, I ask you to make two phone calls: one to Vargas and one to Padilla. Their contact information is below. Thank you.
Padilla, Alex (D) 20 - Pacoima 818-901-5588

Vargas, Juan (D) 40—San Diego 619-409-7690

California DISCLOSE Act of 2012
Citizens United unleashed unlimited, anonymous corporate spending on campaigns nationwide. That's why we're sponsoring AB 1148, the California DISCLOSE Act:
• Lets voters know who really is paying for political ads — on the ads themselves.
• Political television ads will have to clearly list their three largest funders and their logos.
• Applies to all kinds of political ads, including television, radio, print advertising, and websites.
AB 1148 will change the Big Money game.
